I don't actually keep my cables like that. I just did that for the picture. Normally I just loosely wind the cables in my hand and hang them on the posts. Sometimes the plugs will fall due to gravity, so I will drop the plug into the headphone cup.

Ah one more question do you think headphones look better from the front or from the sides?

I thought so. But aside from cable rolling, your stand looks amazing and very doable. I still think we need to think of a way to fight off dusts.
This used to be black. If you see what i mean...

I'm aiming for this kind of effect with backlit semi-opaque white acrylic behind the clear (transparent) acrylic box.

My first attempt at a stand. Impatiently waiting for the paint to dry.

I'm thinking of doing an IEM/earbud style one to make my earbud collection a little more manageable. Has anyone tried this before? My challenges will be accommodating ~20 sets while being convenient and looking nice.
Thinking it might involve lots of very small hooks..

I did mine with a bunch of small hooks, it works well as long as you coil them up between each use (zip ties work, but I prefer the strings that you just twist on to keep it tidy). If you want a more aestetic look though, I did draw up some small sketches for a more elaborate design. I just got to impatient to actually getting around to making it.

Thanks for the inspiration. I am hoping to incorporate some sort of clip to keep them from unravelling. Something like this...

That could work,. However a lot of wires just want to twist and such so the only real way to lock them down is by using a couple of hooks together, that or somethng like zip ties to keep them together. I would love for your method to work though as it would surely simplify the way I'll make my future IEM stand.

Here is my entry in the fray. I couldn't find a design that hit all the marks for me so created something I'm pretty happy with out of a scrap of Oak.

The bottle can be placed upside down, it will be better for the headband headphones.

I found this one on gearbest if youre still looking. It's not the nicest looking thing in the world, but I think I'm going to copy the concept for my own design at least.
